The Joker's attack on Arkham Asylum left the long-standing Gotham
establishment in ruin, most of the patients killed or missing, and
only a handful of surviving staff-a few nurses, a gravely injured
security guard, and one doctor. In the chaos of the assault, it is
believed that several of the asylum's patients escaped and scurried
off into the dark nooks and crannies of Gotham City. Now, these
Arkhamites walk among us, and it's up to the Asylum's one remaining
doctor, Jocasta Joy, to round up her former patients. Meet these
Arkhamites: a woman with no face, a pyggy in search of perfection,
a man who feels nothing and burns everything, a woman who must
devour life to save herself, a man unfit for the waking world who
looks instead for Wonderland, a body with more than one soul, a
being unbound from time who lives in the present and the past, a
boy who seeks the comfort of vermin, and the twisted man who sees
them all for who they are. And witness the avenging angel who
stalks them. This volume collects Arkham City: The Order of the
World #1-6, the complete story by Dan Watters and Dani.
Mad Max: Fury Road meets Neil Gaiman's Sandman in this
full-throttle, grindhouse, fantasy epic. Cars! Guns! Entropy! Izzy
Tyburn has promised the world that if it won't have her in it,
it'll have nothing of her at all. Chased by an unstoppable killer,
she's re-treading her life, leaving nothing behind but burned
rubber, ash... and the sun-scorched bones of those who get in her
way. Ride shotgun on an existential road-trip through the tangled
web of a blood-splattered life. Collects COFFIN BOUND #1-4. "If you
like Dan Watters' work on Lucifer, this is even weirder..." -Neil
Gaiman "Wholly original. Fresh concepts and characters pop up on
almost every page, courtesy of Watters' mind and Dani's art. This
is a series to keep your eye on." -Entertainment Weekly "It's a
gleeful of literary grindhouse comic that brings to mind Milligan's
Arthouse Pulp and notes of Pretty Deadly. Out in August. Pre-order
now." -Kieron Gillen "Dani is quite a discovery: the work is very
inventive and actually very careful but the line is alive and
organic-the ink just spills down and branches into the right
places. And the language style Watters launches here is just
wonderful-I summon Milch because it's eccentric and neo-antique
like his Deadwood speech, rippling with character and drunken with
its own pleasure... Coffin Bound is a damned joy." -Warren Ellis "A
Lynchian crime chase desert noir fever dream with its own messed up
internal logic. Fun." -Rob Williams "An acid drenched road trip,
seeping violence and weirdness of the best kind. Definitely one to
check out." -Ollie Masters "Gorgeous and odd and very much its own
unique monster. I am jealous at its filthy strangeness." -Ivan
Brandon "A gore-splattered-but poetic-road trip with one of the
strangest stripper scenes in comics." -John Harris Dunning
"Dreamlike, mythic, relentless and strange." -Kurt Busiek
"Excellent. Like finding a weird Alex Cox meets Jodorowsky road
movie you didn't know existed. Literate, full of ideas &
complimented by Dani's Guera meets Pope-ish art." -Iain Laurie
"Pure Doom. Watters spins a fantastic Kerouac-Ian fever dream with
Dani dropping some story chops, solid gesture and moody blacks.
It's a great hook that will take you Under. Coffin Bound Rules!"
-Andy Belanger "Your lessons of life delivered at the end of a
muzzle by a choir of grindhouse philosophers laced with the wisdom
of dead birds. I can hardly think of another story so fully infused
with Dan Watters and Dani aesthetic." -Ram V "Coffin Bound is a
distillate of madness. A slice of apocalyptic dreamtime cut with
engine smoke, acid nihilism and dirty juju. This is some top-class
necrofuel, my friends, and you need it in your brain-tank pronto."
-Si Spurrier "Coffin Bound is a comic with a strong pulse that
bleeds all over your hands while reading. You should give it a
read." -Declan Shalvey "So fun! Dani's art is gorgeous (as always!)
and Brad Simpsons' colours are ridiculously nice. I just want
moreeee." -Emmeline Pidgen "Call your local comic shop now. Make
sure they get this for you. Trust me." -Matthew Rosenberg
